JAKARTA - Tennis player from Australia, Nick Kyrgios, claimed his first ATP Tour title since 2019. He won the Citi Open after defeating Japanese player Yoshihito Nishioka in the men's singles final, August 7 yesterday.
This victory ended Kyrgios's three-year title drought. The Australian has not dropped a set in her first tournament since losing to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final last month.
Kyrgios also celebrated the win with his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi on the pitch before sharing a selfie together in the locker room. The photo was later shared with Hatzi's 135 thousand followers on Instagram.
The beautiful blogger and influencer is always there to support her lover. Hatzi, who started dating Kyrgios towards the end of 2021, approached the couple and gave a kiss as a 'gift' of victory.
The 22-year-old has followed Kyrgios around the world this year. It seems, Hatzi's presence has a positive impact on the tennis player.
"It was very emotional for me," Kyrgios said. "Looking at where I was last year to now, it's been a tremendous transformation. I just came out with a lot of energy."
"I've been in some very dark places. Just to be able to turn things around, there have been so many people who have helped me get there."
"I myself have shown some serious strength to go on and on and on and through all that time and still be able to come out and win tournaments like this."
Kyrgios then made history at the Citi Open which took place in Washington. He won doubles with Jack Sock.
He became the first player to win both singles and doubles titles in the same year in the tournament's history.
